Morality is not a luxury, morality is the bedrock of society. And the hacker group is (probably) from Romania, which, while not a super rich country, is a EU member state and “economic growth has been one of the highest in the EU since 2010“. The country does not have famine or is war torn. Unemployment is 6%. The hackers don’t do it to feed their family, they do it because of greed.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

  You know what helps people sleep at night? Having morals and not screwing over vulnerable people. The ones who can hurt others all day long and still sleep soundly are psychopaths.

    You know what also helps people sleep at night? Growing up in luxury and enjoying their software engineer salary while preaching to others about their moral superiority.

      You seem pretty defensive... have you done some things that keep you up at night? I've been homeless and gone to bed hungry, and I know it's tough, but I never hurt others so I could eat better. In my younger days I did spend a few uncomfortable weeks as a telemarketer (doing product surveys for market research) but even that bothered me, I can't imagine scamming the sick and elderly. You can have morals and dignity even in poverty. I'll concede that some countries provide more options for their people than others, but there are always other options.

        I am not defensive, I just loathe rich kids who can't even comprehend how much of their values is dependent onto their safety nets and privilege they grew up in, going around telling others how it's "possible to have morals in poverty". Go live in true poverty for a couple of years, then we'll talk about how morally superior you are, when you have to choose between feeding your kid and being morally upstanding. Otherwise stop talking about life you know nothing about.
